Good morning, America.

Heute vor 13 Jahren traf ich (unter @amandapalmer.bsky.social Achselhöhle) die @sterfaine.bsky.social (über Amandas Achselhöhle) und das war ein guter Tag! Happy Friendiversary, Sister! 💕 Thank you, Amanda, Schicksalsmacherin!

My colleague @liaholland.bsky.social created this @fightforthefuture.org tool making it easy for you to write to your legislators and demand they stop data brokers from enabling abuse: www.fightforthefuture.org/actions/data....

Listen to and follow Evan, and also follow and support @fightforthefuture.org

If you understand my t-shirt we are gonna be friends. Happy Pride, Everybody.

It was a sad and beautiful way to kick off Pride Month; I felt honored to gather with a ton of incredible mostly-Boston songwriters to pay tribute to our lost hero Jill Sobule at the legendary Club Passim in Harvard Square. We sang, we cried, we shared. Jill would have loved it. Music heals. 🔥♥️🔥

Last year we started a project to download and preserve public data. lil.law.harvard.edu/blog/2025/01... Since saving public data is in the news today — but is always needed — let’s talk about what you can do to help.

I made a little half hour video for my community and patrons, calling in 11 (well, 12) deep and heartfelt wished for the new year. You can access the whole video here, it’s open to all patrons, including the free members. HAPPY NEW YEAR ALL. www.patreon.com/posts/118796...

Winter.

But Dear Sponsored Ad, What if I’m overwhelmed, bloated, AND exhausted

A Christmas morning thread. I woke up early this morning in the dark to a flood of panicked thoughts about time, safety and money. I want to protect my child. I want to protect my family. What is going to happen to America? What is about to happen to…everyone?

I had to take this today, in Lexington center. Everything quaint and in its right place, while feeling haunting and ominous at the same time. Merry Christmas, you filthy animals. I love you all. Whatever is to come, there are powerful forces st work. Align yourselves accordingly. 🎄🔥♥️😱

I got to bond with @toninagy.bsky.social yesterday and it was truly soul-feeding. Same planet person. Doing the work of life. Recommend the follow.

Awww!!! Me and @billybragg.bsky.social !!

I’M ON NATIONAL TV / @nbcnews.com TONIGHT!! How adult do I look, cmon. Interview is a short, sweet and passionate plea to consider the artist/musician landscape post-covid and fight to save the Internet Archive. Should be around 10:30pm EST. Tune in to the stream…: nbcnews.com/NOW

Hm. I mean, if TikTok is about to be gone, should I finally get on there and start wreaking art-havoc like there’s no tomorrow….? It’s tempting. I’ve barely touched my account but I do have tens of thousands of followers there. open.substack.com/pub/read/p/i...

Correct vibe for the season

Take your hate somewhere else.

Those of you following @amandapalmer.bsky.social will know of Mira, a young and fantastic talent from Belgium. This is for her birthday, which is today! youtu.be/WMKolVDWBmM?... www.instagram.com/mimi.bloo/ soundcloud.com/mimi_bleu mimibloo.bandcamp.com (Bandcamp Friday is tomorrow!)

What Hank says! As someone who had 1 million Twitter followers and was constantly co-inspired by people like him to use Twitter as a tool to gather and knit our communities, I am so glad he is here…and so glad we have all found another place to do the work of ART+HUMAN-ING TOGETHER. Let’s do this. 💥

Hi Bluesky. I’m keen to dive in here & I have about 990k followers to go if I’m doing to match my Olde Twittere following. So I’m going to do here what I used to do and just chat relentlessly about whatever is on anybody’s mind for the duration of this train ride to NYC. Open forum. What’s going on?

This is a truly sobering. A new report by UN Women finds that of the 85,000 women killed by men in 2023, 60% died at the hands of a partner or family member. Pay attention to the signs. Believe women. Support your local domestic violence shelter. 💜 www.unwomen.org/en/news-stor...

It cannot be a coincidence that I am now hearing about the third trans teen - within my own little social circle of old high school friends and so forth - to commit suicide since the new regime got elected. Please weigh in with anecdotal knowledge. Or real data. From where I’m sitting, it looks bad.

BOSTON/CAMBRIDGE! What a delight !!! There’s an amazing little vintage/crafts pop-up in the back of the old Porter Sq Books location (they’ve moved!) called Chartreuse Microbus Collective… there til March and PERFECT for holiday shopping. Tons of cheap books and cards and clothes and THINGS 🎉📚♻️♥️📚🌈

Isn’t it funny how the media suddenly stopped talking about high food and gas prices; soaring crime in the suburbs; the migrant invasion; and immigrants eating dogs and cats?

ALL ABORTIONS ARE EQUALLY WORTH FIGHTING FOR. While the tragic cases deserve attention to highlight that abortion is life-saving care, let's not forget that the "boring" abortions matter, too. It’s all part of the same fight for autonomy, & every single decision is VALID. https://buff.ly/3ZmCJ02

Dear Bluesky A few days ago I followed a chunk of 150 “starter pack” folks posted by a feminist I like. Then I realized: I miss the Olde Days of twitter before I was following 4k randoms. So I deleted those 150 follows and I’m sticking to my guns: I’m keeping my follows known & tight. Just a thought
